[IS,P] Good point. I was actually meaning to ask razor before, but then somehow talked myself into toothbrush, along the way forgetting why I had dismissed that idea earlier.

[CdM] Ok.
[I] Not a knife.
[ISP] Not a whisk.
]CdM] Not a razor.
[Rosie] *riotous applause* Yes, a watch or clock.
BTW, I have not checked to see whether this is a repetition of an earlier object. If so, perhaps the time has come...

though mine seems to be mostly plastic.
The time has come...? Noooooooooo!

[Rosie] A wrist-watch could serve as one, but...
[Irouléguy] An alarm-clock it is.

And I see that not only has that been set before, but it was set by me before. Hm...

---

[Raak] Set before? Hmmm, wonder why it didn't go off. Better buy a new one.

Mine didn't go off this morning, either - though that was because I didn't set it :)
Okay, our next is ABSTRACT WITH ANIMAL connections.

doh! fat fingers!
g/h

Rosie] Brown is the new blue? Wholly wrong (also not the answer)
Inkers] Cgarlie in the Cgocolate Factory? No

Rosie] Making something? No, but this could lead to a creative activity.

CdM - Person to person? Yes, essentially (other animals could be involved, and it could be argued that other animals do this, but this wouldn't be a useful line to explore.)

ImNotJohn - To do with communication? In a broad sense, yes, but that's not how most people would classify this.
I Say, Porter! - Mime? *shakes head, frowns*

Rosie - Is this an organisation of creative people? No

Kim - Is it a communicative medium? Not entirely sure what you mean by that (and a quick Google doesn't help me). I think the answer is the same as to INJ's previous question.
ImNotJohn - Does it involve a specific subset of people? A specific instance of this would involve a specific subset of people, but in general, no.

Being completely pedantic, this can also be done with/to an inanimate object, so the definition should strictly be ABSTRACT with ANIMAL and possibly VEGETABLE and/or MINERAL connections, but this is another red herring.

Nudge, nudge.

Rosie - Anything to do with sex? *applause* Yes (though the answer (and the thing itself) are quite SFW).

Phil - Mostly to do with sex? I don't see how you could quantify it, but there are a lot of sexual connotations, yes.

[Rosie] Suitable for work

(Phil) Ah! Thanks. Now, what is this thing called work?.

[Rosie] Do you do a lot of flirting with inanimate objects, then? :-) (Excluding the trombone, of course.)

Rosie - A dance, or flirting? No to both (though you might well do this while engaged in either).
Sorry about the jargon - I've seen people use 'NSFW' in Another Place, so I thought it would be understood (though I used it as 'Safe for Work')
CdM - Would a specific instance typically involve just two people? *applause* Yes
